Okyenhene gave the orders when two newly installed Chiefs namely the embattled Apapamhene, Osabarima Okgyeaman Apagya Ofori ll and Ankaasehene Baafour Ansah Sasraku Ofram ll sworn to him.
Okyenhene also cautioned against the growing phenomenon in the traditional area where some people arrogate to themselves as Kingmakers enstooling and destooling Chiefs and in the process creating chaos in the traditional area.
